Professor Henry Drummond, of the Free
Church College, Glasgow, and Rev A NJ
Fairbairn, President of Mansfield college,
Oxford University, have made a profound
impression by their lectures and addresses
from the Chautauqua platform this season.
Both are pronounced blondes, Of pure Scotch
blood, and both are of very simple and
charming manners. Professor Drumniond,
the author of that remarkable book, Nat
ural Law in the Spiritual World, which
has most iayorably impressed thoughifIo and
intelligent religious people in both the henri
spheres. and ia which the author has brush
eSi.away the clouds between many honest
doubtes a., their Creator, has delighted
thousands Of Chautauguans from all parts of
the land by his eiearnes in the expression OF
religious ideas and principles, which are
abreast with the advanced thought OF the
age. And vet Professor Drummond, who
has ac quired worldwide fame, Is only 80
I years Of age Principal Fairbairn, Of Oxf0rr;
has shown himself equal, as q lecturer and 4
! philosopher, to any person who has ever oc-
cupied the Chaat4uqua platform His al
dresses on religious and political movements
in history have not only greatly pleased
thousands of people, but have greatly IN
structed them. These two men, and our
own Chancellor Vincent, who preached lass
